    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect BeadTec knotting cord, Miyuki seed beads, table cut buttons, scissors, and a lighter. Cut the Cord: Cut six pieces of cord, each about 32 inches long. Create the Base Loop: Tie the cords together in a loop big enough for the button to pass through. Start Knotting: Secure the cords and begin knotting using the alternating square knot technique, known as "Snoopy's nose." Add Beads: After a few knots, add a bead to the right cord and continue knotting, alternating sides. Separate and Continue: Split the cords into two groups of three and continue knotting, adding beads to each side. Rejoin Cords: Bring the cords back together and continue the pattern, ensuring consistency. Finish the Ends: Secure the button, tie off the ends, and use a lighter to burn and secure the knots. Final Adjustments: Adjust the knots and beads for uniformity and trim any excess cord.

    Very hard to navigate the website! I am a long time costumer and not to be able to use a coupon code is really not right! If I didn’t need the item I purchased for a gift I would not of bought it at all!

    I ordered on a Thursday and my package was at the post office by Friday. It took 10 days for the package to get to me - tracking was lost a couple of times and the post office took it off my delivery list at one point. Potomac Beads contacted me twice to check in on the progress of my search for my lost package. They went above and beyond. Very professional. Will definitely shop with them again.

    always a breeze to glide thru the shop and easily to find what you need... only complaint, not really complaint would be items added to cart aren't saved , if u click out of site , or lose electricity then you have to go thru and add everything again, so if we could keep items in cart for atleast 24 hrs would be great !!
